I’ve owned this vehicle for about 2 years now. I love how I feel in the driver’s seat, and the car is fast with great gas mileage. However, I’ve had this car in the shop every 2000 miles for one thing or another. I’ve had two seatbelt components replaced, drivers seat lumbar support repaired, rear window chatter in cold repaired, transmission oil pump replaced, and most recently a brand new rear differential. On top of this, the transmission shifts hard in early gears and smooths out in later gears. I’m not sure if this vehicle is a garbage bin, or if the previous owner drove this car way too hard. Either way, I haven’t been able to enjoy this vehicle like I should.

I have driven Audis for decades, starting in 1980 and always loved the brand. Audi has a long, storied history dating back to the early 1900s, with distinguished heritage. It always pushes the boundary of technology & Innovation (hence the German motto “Vorsprung durch Technik”), not to mention a winning racing pedigree (Grand Prix in the 1930s, rallying in the 1980s, SCCA Trans Am, IMSA GTO, European super touring in the 1990s, 24 Hours of Le Mans and American Le Mans series in the 2000s, Audi R8 competition in the 2010s, and soon, Formula 1). The cars from Audi have character and style, and a unique combination of performance without sacrificing comfort & convenience. They are not mere transportation. This “B9” generation A4 (mine is an “ultra” Premium Plus S-line submodel & trim level) is the 7th Audi in my family. It is without question the most technologically advanced I have driven yet. The tech is not there for its own sake, it genuinely serve many functions and make them easy to use via the MMI interface as well as direct input switches on the center console and steering wheel. The more I learn about the little touches that the tech provide, the better I come to appreciate what the engineers thought of when designing the car. The result is sublime. The suspension is stiffly sprung like a good German sport sedan should be, and the result is quick and sharp handling despite the car’s size and weight, yet the body structure is stiff enough, and the low NVH characteristics makes the ride serene and comfortable on most roads. The engine is a marvel. With only 2.0 liter displacement, it nevertheless provides a satisfying rush of torque, power and acceleration when you step on it, all the while being very quiet. It feels so effortless! What’s more impressive, is how it manages to be fuel-efficient while pulling a car that weighs over 4000 lbs. I average about 28mpg in mixed city/highway driving. At 70 mph, the engine cruises at around 1500 rpm in top gear (it has a 7-speed "S-Tronic", a dual clutch manual transmission operated by computer, so you drive it like an automatic). The car has a fuel tank with around 13 gallons capacity, and a full tank can go more than 500 miles! Last but not least, the car is roomy inside, with ample leg room and head room even in the back. The trunk is cavernous, too. All that wrapped in a body that’s sleek and good looking, unlike other brands, the new Audi design language is elegance with a healthy dose of fierce attitude, but it’s not overdone. Inside and out, every surface, every line or curve is a feast to the sight and the touch. Every drive in this car is a treat to the senses! I’m very happy with this purchase.

Hate the technology

The car is comfortable, drives well, has good power, and gets suprisingly good gas mileage. I get 39 mpg on the highway. The problem for me is the technology. The audi connect is a grossly overpriced data plan. Without it, many of your tech features dont work. The navigation is a nightmare. During the sales cycle I was shown how easy it was to upgrade maps. Download to an sd card, plug it in and upload. Dealership even offered to do the first couple free. Well.... when I went to get that first free one, they wanted $500. So, I set out to do myself. First you have to make sure you can configure java so that you can connect to download. Then you have to download 10gb @ myaudi server speed 0f about 200kb/sec. Meanwhile, it keeps timing out. This is an all day affair folks.... and no, it isnt my connection or lack of tech savvy. Google it.

The ride is supple yet not fatiguing. You feel the road but it does not affect comfort. You hear almost no road noise and can have a conversation at normal voice inside. Acceleration is brisk and satisfying. Though using premium 91 octane fuel, the payoff is great mileage if you allow the automatic stop start feature and coast to stops. Interior seating comfort is excellent and the driver's seat can be dialed in perfectly. Controls are easy to use, the display large enough to read, and the connectivity for iPhones and Android phones makes it easy to enjoy multiple information sources.

Technology is top of the market, instrumentation is incredible. Settings available can change the car from comfortable daily cruiser to powerful sport machine with the touch of a button. Controls are overwhelming at first but intuitive once learned. Perfect daily driver that can become a sport machine when you want it.
